Dashboard Software Documentation
This details each feature in the AEV Solar CyberSedans dashboard and how to use it
What's included
Live Speedometer
Using GPS technologies and a transmitter mounted to the roof of the car, we're able to get extremely precise location and speed data.
Graphical BMS Data
Interfacing with a physical Thunderstruck MCU & BMS, we were able to get live data containing statistics on the battery and its usage.
Lap measuring technology
With a simple stopwatch for the frontend and complex websocket tech in the backend, we're able to log our laps with the dashboards screen and implement that into our logs.
Automatic telemetry logging
While all interfaced components are running, alongside visually displaying all of the live data, our backend automatically logs every inch of data to a JSON file which then exports to a google sheet automatically.
Rear and Blindspot cameras
Implementing USB Arducams, we mounted 3 cameras (1 rear and 2 left/right blindspots) to have almost a full 180 view of everything around us.
Adaptive 3D CyberSedan Model
Based on the original 3D CADs of our car, we use an STL and 3D rendered model of the car alongside a 3D scene to create a live view of the car on the screen just like Teslas have which moves when we drive as well.
